4Kids Entertainment, the much-maligned anime dubbing company, was purchased by Haim Saban, creator of Power Rangers and owner of Saban Brands. In addition, the Yu-Gi-Oh anime license returned to Konami, who publishes the popular Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game.
Saban intends to replace the Toonzai block, which began broadcast on 2010, with a new block called the Vortexx. It will feature anime programming formerly owned by 4Kids, including "Sonic X," "Dinosaur King," and "Magical DoReMi", as well as the CGI television show "Cubix: Robots For Everyone," and the Korean-animated "Tai Chi Chasers."
"Yu-Gi-Oh" will continue to be broadcast on Vortexx because of a mutual agreement between Saban and Konami. These series include "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters", which began in 2001 in the United States, "Yu-Gi-Oh GX," which began in 2005 in the United States, "Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds," which began in 2008 in the United States, and "Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal", which began in the United States this past September.
The programming block will begin broadcast on August 25. Saban also plans to revamp the website, 4Kids.tv, into a new site to reflect the change.
That will be all.
Cool story bro.
